About us:
King’s College London is an internationally renowned university delivering exceptional education and world-leading research. We are dedicated to driving positive and sustainable change in society and realising our vision of making the world a better place.

About the role:
We are looking for interdisciplinary scientists focused on applying and integrating physical and life sciences approaches to understand the complexity of living systems and enable technologies seeking to engineer biology. This includes combining empirical, theoretical and computational/AI methods from different disciplines and across scales, spanning molecules, cells, organs, organisms and populations.
Successful candidates will play a key role in developing and executing internationally leading research and work collaboratively across King’s. You will have a strong research track record, demonstrating interdisciplinary engagement, and be ready to grow a research programme that attracts external funding. You will also be committed to educating scientists and researchers of the future through a range of interdisciplinary undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes.
We also wish to maximise the relevance of our work to society through high impact research through engagement with industry and public engagement that engages diverse audiences, especially in our local communities in London and beyond.
It is important that King’s reflects the diversity of the population we serve, and we strongly encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
